BAD - I SAID YES


Intro: C - G - Am - Fmaj7 (x2)


                C                                            G
When it's over they will say we two were bandits,
              Am                                         Fmaj7
They will document our exploits in the press,
             C                                             G
How we terrorized the ranches and the railroads,
            Am                                          Fmaj7
How we menaced all the sheriffs in the west,

              C                                           G
They will print our little pictures in the paper,
           Am                                          Fmaj7
With a list of all our crimes and our arrests,
              C                                              G
When it's over they will say we two were bandits,
       Am                                    Fmaj7
And history, as they say, is the rest - we were the best


C - G - Am - Fmaj7 (x2)


C                         G                                    Am
I hear a choir of dislocated women singing dirges for their daughters
               Fmaj7                                              C
Who had found themselves inside the county jail,
                                   G                                       Am
I can feel the precious metal of the barrel of your colt against my heart
                          Fmaj7                                               C          
       G
'Cause when we argued you would sometimes pull a gun on me,
                Am                       Fmaj7
Then we'd think of something,
                   C              G                    Am               Fmaj7
It was the rage of the game you were playing me,

C                       G                                                 Am
I see this fire of all the things I'm losing spinning rubies from the saddlebag
   Fmaj7                                         C
I think that means I may be losing you,
                                    G                                                 Am
And I know that I could take this in my stride if you were riding at my side
                       Fmaj7                                                           C 
               G
'Cause you'd be here and through the hoof-dust you would wink at me oh,
                 Am                        Fmaj7
Then you'd think of something,
                      C                    G                   Am          Fmaj7
You were the brains of the gang and the bravery,
                   C                   G              Am           Fmaj7
And I am afraid of the man who is chasing me.

    C                                                 G
I don't have a suggestion who these followers could be,
     Am                                             Fmaj7
But every time I turn around they're gaining on me,
C                                      G
Lucy is exhausted, she's never seen the sea,
           Am                                             Fmaj7
And I know she'd be delighted by your company,

             C                                                     G
Now she may not be the quickest horse that you will ever see,
             Am                                                  Fmaj7
And she caught a sock of buckshot back in 1933,
            C                                                   G
But she likes the smell of powder and she likes the smell of me,
       Am                                         Fmaj7
She likes the lick of leather on her one, two, three -

               C                                                   G
Do you remember when we said we'd go to panama?
              Am                                                 Fmaj7
Well that seems somewhat improbable somehow,
               C                                                 G
Do you remember all the other things I'd promised you?
                Am                                   Fmaj7
They're becoming rather difficult now,

C                                                      G
This could be the song we said we'd write for you,
Am                                                Fmaj7
I could be those friends you never had,
           C                                                  G
'Cause there are many different kinds of criminal,
        Am                                              Fmaj7
And there are many different kinds of Bad,

N.C.
I don't know if I can make it back this time,
You have always been the faster rider than me (x2)


C                             G                             Am
I don't know if I can make it back this time,
                               Fmaj7
You have always been the faster rider than me (x 6)
